Okay, I know, I know – it’s been a while, too long in fact! Simple reason, we’ve been running up and down the country seeing things; we have a few things to report since October! I will start by saying our sits are now longer in one location, which makes daily updates a little less…

Well you learn things by chance, I never knew Brigadoon was a real place. On the way from Edingburgh to East Greenlaw we stopped at a location to walk our little charge. As Rosie ran around, I explored the lovely little hamlet by the side of the road. Some charming cottages, stone arches and the…

A New Year walk along the river Tyne, near East Linton, found us at Hailes Castle, which in its day would’ve been a beautiful place to live over looking the river. Sadly, it’s another castle that suffered the Cromwell fate, (he did appear to smash up a lot around Scotland), but the site is still…

One of our catch up posts, about the visit to Preston Mill & Phantassie Doocot at East Linton. We stopped here to walk the dog, and to give me thirty minutes to explore the mill, even though sadly it was closed on the day. A well restored old mill, with its Dutch-style conical roof the…

Catching up on a few posts, and thought I would share our Boxing day 24 visit to Tyninghame Beach, just north of Dunbar. This is a beach to visit if you enjoy great views, lovely sandy strolls and a bit of WWII history. Anti-tank obstacles are littered on this beach, and what looks like the…

A trip to visit Kelso, which led to a long walk to Floors Castle. Having got my hair trimmed, Annabel and her sister went to see their dad. I took the opportunity to explore the local area, and thought the walk to Floors Castle would be worth a stroll. Sadly, the main entrance by Kelso…

Simple answer, all over, which is why our blog has been a little quiet of late. We didn’t mean to miss our daily updates, but with the travel, work and life, maintaining the blog has been a little tricky. However, where have we been? Well since Portsmouth on the 11th August, we’ve seen: That sort…

Sunday 11th August, and we find ourselves invited down to Portsmouth Harbour to catch up with a couple of friends. While Annabel heads off to relax on a leisure cruiser at Fareham Creek, I spend the day on a launch, which tends to pleasure boats broken down around The Solent. We couldn’t have asked for…

Annabel’s Christmas gift was a trip up the Shard followed by a meal out in London. With the weather set fine, and our dog charge having left us to join her owners in Cornwall, today was the perfect opportunity to catch the train from Hook and head to London. Going via Waterloo to London Bridge…

Following the party yesterday, Mymble had no idea that she was once again going to be the centre of attention as she was driven to Oakhanger to accompany Red, who we looked after before Christmas. I had been asked to take Red into the Oakhanger dog show, as her owners were busy with other activites…
